YAY! I got to try out the Alien Fragrance!

IMG_3328

Thierry Mugler Alien Fragrance $13

I’ve seen this fragrance in stores but the name ‘Alien’ threw me off a lot. I’m a very classic/preppy style kind of girl so the whole brand and design of this fragrance seemed too edgy for me. But i’m so glad I got to sample this fragrance, I love the scent. It has such a strong warm scent and yet its light and delicate at the same time. I like the overall design of the bottle and I really like how they gave out such a ‘spooky’ (in my sense) perfume near Halloween. My only problem with the perfume is that I couldn’t smell the scent on me after an hour.

I’m very happy I was chosen for this sample and I have found a new perfume that I really enjoy! Have you tried this perfume yet?

Why Not Me? By Mindy Kaling $25

I’m not really into autobiographies but this has 4.5 stars on Amazon. Plus Mindy Kaling is super funny and I’m sure the book would be a great read, especially because its listed as a comedy essay book. The book has a bunch of cute pictures of mindy too! But I don’t think I will be keeping this. You can find this on eBay for much less.

Richer Poorer Hope Slipper Sock $15

I absolutely love these socks! They are super cute and really soft. I own a bunch of soft fluffy socks but these are by far the softest. I love the pink and the white stripes. It has a sporty to feel to them, I think its a symbol for kicking breast cancers butt! You can find these on eBay.

Honest Sea Salt + Sugar Body Scrub $17

I’m very picky with my scrubs and I think I would have liked this one if it weren’t lavender. I can’t stand the smell of lavender but I wish I could. I know a lot of people are big fans of The Honest Company and how they are made with all natural ingredients. You can find this on eBay.

Its a 10 Leave In Conditioner $9

This is a sample size. I’ve never used its a 10 products before but I’ve always heard amazing things about it. My sister has been using them for a quite a while now and even started using their conditioner. She’s been trying to get me to start using their products but their pricing for the size of their bottles really throw me off.  However it smells amazing and I’m really excited to get to use it. You can find this on eBay.

Belgian Boys Stroopwafel $1.50

I have tried stroopwafel before and I’ve never been a big fan of it. I’ve tried it plain and i’ve tried it with tea. I believe I have received it once before in pop sugar, and love with food. They kind of taste like cardboard to me and always had a stale taste.

Savvy Sleepers White Satin Pillowcase $36

I have two sets of satin sheets, cream and mocha. White does not really go with my sheets/comforter. Honestly I have not noticed any difference from sleeping on satin pillowcases then cotton. But maybe I’ve been sleeping on them for so long that its just not noticeable anymore. What I like about this pillowcase is that it has a secret pocket on the inside where you can stash love letters, hair ties, or jewelry.  You can find this on eBay.

Easy, Tiger.Brown Paper Liquor Bag Set $8

This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. Popsugar recommends bringing wine in one of these bags for a housewarming gift or halloween party. Maybe its just me but when I saw this I was like WTF. Why would they send us this. But I guess if you want this you can definitely find it on eBay.

Gift Card To Danielle Stevens Jewelry $40

This is actually my favorite item in the box. I already ordered a personalized bow for my sister as a stocking stuffer gift! I’m doing her school colors; purple and white. They have a bunch of great things on their website that would be perfect for gifting! I already bought a second gift card on eBay!

image10

I payed $40 and received $111.50 without the $40 gift card. I think popsugar has really been slacking lately, with their products and with their customer service and shipping timing. This box was just so random, it did not have a theme or any kind of halloween/ fall feeling to it which really bothered me. I was charged the 2nd or 3rd or October and didn’t get it until the 22nd. Also when I contacted customer service about this problem they were so unhelpful. What did you think of this months box? Click here to sign up to get your next box!

Nina Garcia – Shipping Update – Summer Box 2015

Even though they said that the box would be shipping out EARLY October, I was finally charged for the box today! They should overnight ship these boxes to us for the delay they have given us. I have not received a tracking number at this time.

ABOUT FRIGGIN’ TIME!

I’m not even sure if this is the summer box, the fall box, or the winter box. Their shipping and the way the handle their company is so unprofessional, that if this box sucks this will be my last box with them.

What do you guys think of the whole Nina Garcia Subscription Box Mess?

Mighty Brittle $8

I absolutely love this maple brittle! its sweet but subtle and chewy. I love it and its the perfect flavor for fall so right when I saw this I was happy and now that I have tried it I’m even more happy! This was definitely a great treat to add in this months box.

Salty Road Salty Caramel Apple Salt Water Taffy $7

I’ve tried salty road salt water taffy so many times from treatise, pop sugar, and love with food. So when I saw this I was happy because i knew I was going to love them! They are the right texture of chewy and soft and the flavors are always perfect.

Marlos Bakeshop Biscotti $2.75 each

First off I’m Italian so Biscotti is the ultimate win on my part! The original is full of cinnamon. I adore anything cinnamon, so instant win for me. I’m not a fan of banana bread, this biscotti was a little bit softer than the original biscotti and it was a little too banana-y for me. I thought the midnight biscotti was going to be my favorite but it turned out to be the most bland. out of all of them the original was my favorite.

IMG_3272

I payed $20 and received $22.50, I loved the curation this month. I really got that fall feeling from this box! What did you think of this months box?
